Friday, January 14, 2022 5Brooklin Town Crier The three Douglas brothers, Kyle, Matt, and Ryan, are trying to bring positive vibes to 2022 through two things that are close to their hearts: cycling and local health care. In particular, they're supporting the #ourcancer program at Lakeridge Health Oshawa through their challenge, "Laps 4 Lakeridge Health." This year they are also dedicating the ride to their friends and family who are currently undergoing cancer treatment; Roger, John and Terry. On January 29, they'll be riding Norco "fat bikes" continuously for eight hours on a circuit at Royal Ashburn Golf Course with a goal of raising $15,000 for Lakeridge Health Foundation.
